About Mountainsurf Interlaken
Mountainsurf Interlaken is a lakeside watersports center on the shores of Lake Thun in Neuhaus, roughly ten minutes by bus from central Interlaken. The center hires out kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, pedalos, and motorboats directly from a private beach, giving visitors instant access to the calm, turquoise waters of one of Switzerland's most scenic lakes.
Rentals are available by the hour or half-day, with no license required for pedalos, kayaks, or SUPs. Motorboat hire requires a Swiss boating permit, and staff can advise on regulations for foreign visitors. The sheltered bay at Neuhaus is ideal for beginners — the water is flat and shallow near shore, with dramatic views of the Niesen pyramid and Stockhorn range across the lake. SUP yoga sessions and guided sunset paddles are offered on selected dates through the summer season.
Mountainsurf is a favorite among locals and tourists alike for its relaxed atmosphere and prime waterfront position. The center operates from May to September and includes changing facilities, a small kiosk, and ample parking. It fills a gap in the Interlaken adventure scene by catering to visitors who want a gentler, self-paced lake experience rather than high-adrenaline river sports.
